EXCEPTIONAL STREAMING EXPERIENCES

Viewers expect streaming to match the uninterrupted experience of TV. That means high picture quality, fast start-up, and no buffers. At Akamai, we solve the underlying and complex technicalities of streaming so your viewers can just hit play.

Quality is the core differentiator for Live Linear services and online audiences have high expectations. Success rests with providing viewers the content they want to see at broadcast-level quality. Akamai’s purpose-built Live Linear Solution helps deliver the four “must-haves” for providing a high-quality live linear experience to your online audience:

Buffering is bad for the business regardless of how viewers access your content. Subscribers’ quality expectations outstrip those of either ad supported or transactional models. And SVOD services are vulnerable to the negative effects of buffering which impacts their brand performance. With Akamai as your partner, keep viewers happy and loyal to your service with exceptional quality.

Streaming live events remains a complex endeavor. Aside from content itself, quality issues pose the biggest threat to retaining subscribers and viewers of a live streaming service. Learn how our team has applied nearly two decades of experience to provide broadcasters a way to deliver broadcast-level quality live events.
